Gee, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Geed; p. pr. & vb. n. Geeing.]
1. To agree; to harmonize. [Colloq. or Prov. Eng.] Forby.
2. Etym: [Cf. G. jĂŒ, interj., used in calling to a horse, It. giĂČ, F.
dia, used to turn a horse to the left.]
Definition: To turn to the off side, or from the driver (i.e., in the
United States, to the right side); -- said of cattle, or a team; used
most frequently in the imperative, often with off, by drivers of
oxen, in directing their teams, and opposed to haw, or hoi. [Written
also jee.]
Note: In England, the teamster walks on the right-hand side of the
cattle; in the United States, on the left-hand side. In all cases,
however, gee means to turn from the driver, and haw to turn toward
him. Gee ho, or Gee whoa. Same as Gee.
Gee, v. t. Etym: [See Gee to turn.]
Definition: To cause (a team) to turn to the off side, or from the driver.
[Written also jee.]
